Hold talks with Dalai Lama, US to China


The Bush administration on Thursday asked Beijing to hold dialogue with the Dalai Lama to resolve many of the outstanding issues and not for the independence of Tibet.

"I think one of the things that is clear is that the Dalai Lama is not calling for independence for Tibet. He is calling for engagement with Chinese officials in dialogue. And we support that call. We very much want to see the Chinese speak with the Dalai Lama or his representatives to try and resolve many of these outstanding issues," Deputy Spokesman of the US State Department Tom Casey said.
